Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the generator code that emits Javadocs for generated assertion methods and any tests covering that output; done means generated methods include an @see link such as Foo#getBar() with the label "Member under test."

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It'd be helpful if generated methods included an @see to the member the value was generated from.

Example

Given
class Foo {
  public int getBar() {
    return 0;
  }
}
Actual
  /**
   * Verifies that the actual Foo's bar is equal to the given one.
   * @param bar the given bar to compare the actual Foo's bar to.
   * @return this assertion object.
   * @throws AssertionError - if the actual Foo's bar is not equal to the given one.
   */
  public FooAssert hasBar(int bar) {
    // ... cut for brevity ...
    return this;
  }
Expected
  /**
   * Verifies that the actual Foo's bar is equal to the given one.
   * @param bar the given bar to compare the actual Foo's bar to.
   * @return this assertion object.
   * @throws AssertionError - if the actual Foo's bar is not equal to the given one.
   * @see Foo#getBar() Member under test.
   */
  public FooAssert hasBar(int bar) {
    // ... cut for brevity ...
    return this;
  }
